If you are getting started in a preservation project or are interested in preserving an historic building or site:
Contact the History Colorado State Historical Fund at 303-866-2825, visit their website at www.historycolorado.org/oahp/state-historical-fund, or email them at shf@state.co.us. State Historical Fund grant monies come from gaming tax revenues designated by Colorado voters for historic preservation throughout the state. Grants are distributed through a competitive process, and all projects must demonstrate strong public benefit and community support. The State Historical Fund assists in restoration and rehabilitation of historic buildings, architectural assessments, archaeological excavations, designation and interpretation of historic places, preservation planning studies, and education and training programs.
If you want to know if your historic property qualifies for State Historical Fund grants, contact the History Colorado Office of Archaeology and Historic Preservation at 303-866-3392, visit their website at www.historycolorado.org/oahp, or email them at oahp@state.co.us.
